As you arrive, the significant off-road parking and beautifully established frontage immediately set the tone. Mature planting, trees and lawned gardens create a sense of calm and privacy from the moment you pull onto the driveway, giving the home an almost hidden retreat feel despite its convenient position.

Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hallway features original polished tiled flooring and immediately frames the stunning living space beyond. Your eye is instantly drawn through the home towards the garden, where expansive sliding doors and the continuation of the polished concrete flooring effortlessly blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor living.

Natural light pours into the open-plan living space through skylights and extensive glazing, while the zonal underfloor heating beneath the polished concrete flooring keeps the space feeling warm and comfortable all year round. The fully opening sliding doors allow the entire back of the home to come alive during the warmer months, creating one incredible entertaining space flowing directly into the garden.

Professionally designed, the rear garden feels like an extension of the home itself. Carefully landscaped with entertaining in mind, it offers multiple areas to relax, dine and socialise throughout the day. Step straight from the living space onto the patio where the outdoor kitchen area, complete with electrics, integrated BBQ and outdoor fridge, creates the perfect setting for summer evenings with friends and family. A further decked seating area offers a quieter spot to unwind with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine, whilst the level lawn provides plenty of space for children to play or for larger gatherings. Mature borders filled with established plants and trees soften the contemporary landscaping.

The separate living room at the front of the home offers a completely different atmosphere, cosy, characterful and relaxing. Original stained floorboards, sash windows overlooking the mature front gardens and the inset wood-burning fire with bespoke polished concrete hearth create the perfect place to retreat during the winter months.

Also on the ground floor is a beautifully versatile office clad in striking Sho Sugi Ban charred Siberian larch with sliding doors overlooking the garden. Whether used as a home office, creative studio, snug or additional reception room, it is a space that will adapt to changing lifestyles with ease.

There is also a fourth bedroom/guest room, contemporary shower room and a generous utility space with quartz worktops. From here, a personnel door leads into the double garage, which features two garage doors, a further side access door and houses the controls for the underfloor heating system.

Upstairs, the feeling of quality and thoughtful design continues. There are three generous double bedrooms, including a stunning principal suite with a beautifully refitted en-suite. The family bathroom is a a luxurious sanctuary, featuring a freestanding bath, inset shower and elegant gold fittings, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.
